Egypt-Hamas Tensions Continue
(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - Egyptian intelligence officials have cancelled an invitation to a large Hamas delegation headed by deputy leader Moussa Abu Marzouk to visit Cairo, the London-based Arabic newspaper Rai al-Youm reported. At a meeting with Hamas leaders in Cairo in March, Egyptian intelligence officials issued a number of demands and questions ahead of any possible reconciliation, and they have not been content with the answers. Cairo demanded that Hamas tighten border controls and prevent Islamic State fighters in Sinai from entering Gaza, but Egyptian officials reportedly believe Hamas is still interacting with IS.
